Lets hope someone can help me!

Basically, i am trying to select from the database, the top 10 most posts, with the most replies, which expire after 7 days regardless, ie, only posts before 7 days ago are shown, easy you might say? well i dont actually want it 7 days from the start of the THREAD, i want it 7 days from the LAST reply.

However, for the life of me, i cant think of a way to do it.

The code i tried->


Code:

$replycountexpire, is simply a mktime function that takes the current server timestamp and taking 7 days worth off.

code ive also tried in testing, this works, however has no date stuff, as no post table is introduced.

You had "AND threadid=$newsforums" which most likely resulted in no matches within the time specified.
